After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Chapter 128 Confrontation between father and daughter

Shen Jinyao pulled Shen Maoshan into a corner.

At this time, Lord Li ordered people to take off their shackles and said that they would be locked up in the cell and wait for arrangements from above.

Shen Maoshan knew that when they said they were waiting for arrangements from above, they were actually waiting for the emperor's decree.

Shen Jinyao gave the yamen runner some silver and said she wanted to say a few words to Shen Maoshan.

Shen Maoshan was stunned after hearing what Shen Jinyao said.

When did his daughter speak so harshly?

Even the questions she asked were not easy to answer.

At first he thought Shen Jinyao wanted to tell him about the situation on the old lady's side.

Who would have thought that they were here to question him?

For a moment, he didn't know how to react.

Should he be angry that his daughter spoke to him in such a tone, or should he think about how to respond?

Shen Jinyao didn't think too much about it, she just expressed her thoughts.

"Father, this matter is very important to me and the Shen family."

"If you were wrongly accused, we will definitely overturn the verdict one day."

"If you are not being wronged, please tell me so that I can be mentally prepared."

Shen Maoshan pondered for a moment and said, "There are some things that are not for you girls to take care of."

When Shen Maoshan said this, his expression was not very serious, but he was stating an indisputable fact.

Shen Jinyao said, "Have you ever seen a girl wearing men's clothes and brandishing swords and guns every day fighting and killing people?"

"What girl would go into exile with her entire family, worrying about this and that every day? I've killed countless people. Tell me, am I still an ordinary girl?"

Shen Jinyao's words were so powerful that Shen Maoshan was speechless.

In the end, he just said, "Jin'er, you've been wronged."

If her eldest brother and father were still alive, if her mother wasn't pregnant, and if her grandmother wasn't already very old...

How could it be her turn as a girl who had just recovered from a serious illness and was not yet married?

Shen Jinyao said, "Father, don't talk about whether I feel wronged or not. Now I just want to bring the Shen family to Quzhou safely."

"My grandmother asked me to be the housekeeper. In that case, I must know what our situation is like."

"Even if you really did what the imperial edict said, I would accept it and just find a way to survive."

Shen Maoshan didn't expect Shen Jinyao to say that.

He was not even afraid of betraying his country and was only concerned about keeping his entire clan alive.

I think this is a child who cares about his family wholeheartedly.

If only it were a man.

Shen Maoshan sighed and said, "Well, in that case, I will tell you the truth."

"I have never participated in the party and government affairs mentioned in the imperial edict. I have had little contact with the four princes. As for someone framing me like this, it may be related to the list."

"And I would never do something like collaborating with the enemy and selling out my country."

"God and heaven, if I tell even a single lie, I will die a miserable death."

Shen Jinyao looked at Shen Maoshan calmly and swore, and she had already begun to believe Shen Maoshan in her heart.

Although she had told herself before that Shen Maoshan must have been framed, she still wanted to hear it from Shen Maoshan himself.

Shen Jinyao was silent for a while, then said, "In that case, I will trust Father. Please tell me if you have anything to say."

Shen Maoshan didn't take this seriously. He couldn't tell Shen Jinyao about the deal between him and the emperor, right?

However, he was somewhat puzzled as to why his eldest daughter had become so calm.

Shen Jinyao continued, "Although my father was wrongly accused, some people don't think so. That's why we encountered the men in black along the way."

Shen Maoshan agreed, but he didn't know who was behind it.

When the father and daughter said this, they both fell silent.

Shen Jinyao felt that she had asked all the questions she needed to ask and had nothing more to say.

Shen Maoshan was a little annoyed by Shen Jinyao's questioning, but also a little reluctant to leave Shen Jinyao.

"Hey, are you done?"

The yamen runners not far away began to urge them, and Shen Jinyao agreed and let Shen Maoshan go back.

"Father, please go back. I will take good care of grandma and the others."

Shen Maoshan couldn't help feeling sad when he looked at his grown-up daughter.

He said, "Jin'er, don't push yourself. Be careful."

Shen Jinyao nodded. No matter what, even though Shen Maoshan had many secrets, he still felt sorry for his daughter.

Shen Jinyao: "Father, I hope that when we get to Quzhou, you will choose to believe me and tell me everything."

She knew that Shen Maoshan was hiding something, but now was not the right time, and she could only find out everything after arriving in Quzhou.

Shen Maoshan was stunned. When he wanted to say something, Shen Jinyao had already gone to give the silver to the yamen runners.

"Brother officer, please take care of the bags of my father and the other four."

The yamen runner weighed the bundle and felt that it was full of clothes, so he accepted the silver given by Shen Jinyao and agreed.

After Shen Jinyao said goodbye to a few people, she went to find Datian and Xiaotian.

She did not meet Lord Li, so Lord Li naturally did not know that Shen Jinyao was nearby.

"I plan to watch here for a few days until I see them on their way."

Although Shen Maoshan repeatedly said that Lord Li was the emperor's man, she was still a little worried.

I want to see them on the road and then go.

Datian and Xiaotian had nothing else to do. Shen Jinyao had given them some silver when they came along this time, so they naturally wanted to see her off.

During the day, Shen Jinyao would stroll around the state capital by herself, buying anything she saw that she liked, since she had plenty of space anyway.

It’s a good time to replenish everyone’s food when I get back.

At night, Shen Jinyao slept in the carriage, while Datian and Xiaotian found a dilapidated temple to live in.

After waiting for three days, Shen Jinyao met someone familiar at the gate of the provincial government office.

That man was the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Pan Ye.

No matter how smart Pan Ye was, he would not recognize that the carriage nearby was Shen Jinyao's carriage.

Instead, Shen Jinyao saw Pan Ye, and saw two followers following him, with tense and serious faces.

When the people in the yamen saw the sign that Pan Ye took out, they asked Lord Li to come out and meet him.

After Lord Li came out, he was very polite to Pan Ye.

Shen Jinyao thought she had to wait another day, but unexpectedly, after noon, Pan Ye and others walked out of the provincial government office.

Also coming out with them were Shen Maoshan and others.

They put on their shackles and anklets again and followed Pan Ye's carriage closely.

Shen Maoshan walked to the vicinity of the carriage, stopped for a moment, and then followed Pan Ye and others.

Shen Jinyao also understood at this time that the emperor had asked Pan Ye and others to escort him.

Not only that, Pan Ye and others also brought three yamen runners with them, and they also changed into yamen runners' clothes.

Those who don’t know Pan Ye would think he is just an ordinary yamen runner.

It's just that this yamen runner is too cold.

Xiao Tian was a little confused, so he asked, "Brother Jin, aren't we going to rob people?"
